Ender Wiggin: The Innocent Weapon In Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, Ender is a very controversial character. Many people believe that he is a killer with a violent spirit, and that he meant to commit genocide, while I disagree.

After reading and watching the story of Ender Wiggin, it occurred to me that the book and the movie has its similarities and differences. Even though I personally thought the book was better (which it was), they both have their ups and downs. Here are the comparisons between these two tales of Ender’s Game. The filmmakers of Ender’s Game: The Movie made unnecessary additions to the original story more than needed, such as tranquilizing Ender after he killed the buggers, having Petra be at…
your family and could possibly not see them for years; Ender Wiggin was six and was taken away from his family to fight the buggers in space and both the movie and book shows his struggles along the way. The book is better compared to the movie because it allows the reader to better understand Enders thoughts and feelings while he is on his journey and allows the reader to paint a mental picture of certain characters. Like any other book, Enders Game had several themes throughout the story and…
